Dealer Relations Manager Jobs in Texas: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a dealer relations manager in Texas?
Most dealer relations managers in Texas enter the role through automotive dealership experience, OEM field representative positions, or wholesale parts and finance roles. Texas does not require a state-issued license for dealer relations managers, but working knowledge of the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles dealer licensing framework is a practical advantage. A bachelor's degree in business or marketing, combined with hands-on experience inside a franchised dealership, is the most common path to landing this role in the Texas market.
How much do dealer relations managers make in Texas?
Dealer relations managers in Texas earn a median of about $136,020 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $68,750 for the lowest 10% to over $268,450 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire dealer relations managers in Texas?
Employers hiring dealer relations managers in Texas right now include Dealer Tire, OneMain Financial, and Augean Robotics, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of June 2026. Texas's density of franchised automotive, RV, and powersports dealers means both national dealer groups with regional headquarters and OEM regional offices post consistently throughout the year.
Which Texas cities have the most dealer relations manager jobs?
Dallas, Houston, and Austin account for the largest share of dealer relations manager openings in Texas. Dallas-Fort Worth and Houston lead because both metros are home to major dealer group regional headquarters and OEM field offices, while San Antonio's strong vehicle retail market and growing commercial fleet sector draw consistent postings from dealer network employers operating across South Texas.
Are there remote dealer relations manager jobs in Texas?
Yes, but they're rare. About 20% of dealer relations manager openings tied to Texas are remote or hybrid as of June 2026, reflecting the role's fundamentally relationship-driven, territory-based nature. The parts of the work most suited to remote arrangement are reporting, data analysis, and internal communications, while dealer visits, performance reviews, and OEM compliance meetings almost always require in-person presence.
How can I get hired as a dealer relations manager in Texas with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is through a dealership-facing support role such as finance and insurance coordinator, fleet sales representative, or parts wholesale account manager at a Texas-based dealer group or OEM regional office. Large Texas dealer groups like AutoNation and Asbury Automotive run internal development programs that move high-performing associates into regional relationship roles. Building familiarity with Texas DMV dealer licensing rules and completing a CDK or Reynolds and Reynolds platform certification strengthens an application considerably when competing against candidates with direct dealer relations experience.
Where can I find and apply to dealer relations manager jobs in Texas?
You can find and apply to dealer relations manager jobs in Texas on Migrate Mate, which lists current Texas openings in one place. Find roles that fit your background and apply directly to each one without creating an account or signing up.
